Trilateral talks in UAE
Summary
- Ukrainian, US, and Russian officials will hold security talks in the UAE on January 23, the Ukrainian president Zelenskyy and the Kremlin said.
- The trilateral talks follow a meeting of top US negotiators with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on a US-drafted plan to end the Ukraine war.
- Putin has repeatedly said Moscow intends to get full control of eastern Ukraine by force if talks fail. Kyiv, on the other hand, has warned that ceding ground will embolden Moscow and says it will not sign a peace deal that fails to deter Russia from launching a renewed assault.
- After concluding the meeting, Zeleneskyy said that talks were constructive and another round can take place as early as next week
